Top-100 Hockey Players of All-Time - Voting Results (Part 1)

[ResilientBeast]

Got my votes in excited to see how this shakes out.

Had Marty #1

Wow. Thanks for the reminder. Every candidate is going to have to get a Vote next Round. Then, the round afterwards, the gate really opens up and our ballots will have to have three NRs.

For the next nomination, Dryden seems likely- and Chelios seems likely. After that, I don't know wth the nominating committee is going to come up with.

I can see myself favoring a LOT of remainders from the un-advanced of this round.

I say we go full boring and the next ones are Brad Park and Paul Coffey because of course, Terry Sawchuk has to look good at a certain point.

And then Clancy, C. Conacher, Pilote, Schmidt, H. Richard, F. Boucher with two other players. And the real fun begins.

I think I've never had a player 1st for three rounds in a row in these projects, and I've been in all of them except the European players project, but that's clearly happening now with Brodeur.

Yeah, those two (plus recent arrivals Lindsay & Yzerman) definitely land on the "Terry Sawchuk looks good now" plane.

Seems like "full boring" has a better chance of happening than "halfway interesting" (e.g.: King Clancy & Charlie Conacher). Might not be the worst thing heading into people's busy last-minute Holiday hours.

Not the upcoming one (8), but Vote 9 figures to be the one that can't help but be interesting- and I'm hoping it will re-energize us after a period of flagging contributions.

 

[Captain Bowie]

It's that time again.

I'm guessing Brodeur, Sakic, Trottier, Taylor and Cook go in.

I have no idea who's up next. I could see some C's from Frank Boucher to Evgeni Malkin. For defencemen I nould see Pilote or Park, feel too early for anyone else (might be too early for these two as well). I could see Dryden, but I think it's too early for him still. Don't see any wingers that are due up yet.

I'm going to predict:
Dryden
Pilote
Forbserg
2 of Boucher/Schmidt/Apps/Malkin/Park

Sounds like you must have been overrating him.

 

[Michael Farkas]

I'll take Chelios and Park, svp...

 

[Michael Farkas]

Yeah, Brodeur should have gone in a while ago...it's interesting that he's the player most directly effected by coaching in the history of the game though...despite being terrific in every situation he was ever put in: in multiple eras, for multiple coaches, outside of NJ, in the playoffs, in the regular season, and against the toughest competition in history for goaltending...he checks off every box, hell, even the people that fetishize goal-scorers as being superhuman, he offers that too haha...

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Tretiak is due.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Tretiak is due.

One more round and I would accept him and Dryden, assuming Sawchuk goes in this round or high next round.

Top-100 Hockey Players of All-Time - Preliminary Discussion Thread (Revenge of Michael Myers)

4 new next round.
Then a whopping 8.
Then 3.

To be honest, as a participant and without any criticism towards quoipourquoi, I can already say that I'd prefer if we would have more available players, so as to not make the R2 results too much dependant on the R1 results.

Voting only 4 players each round might have been possible but that would set us for A LOT of rounds.

To be honest, I am not a fan of only discussing 10-11 players per round in the 50-100 range.

Definitely gives too much power to Round 1 lists IMO

I would have said this when QPQ first posted it, but I honestly didn't see his post, as it was buried in pages and pages of (IMO premature) arguments about players.

@quoipourquoi , without adding to your workload, once we expand to 13 candidates, is it possible to keep the number of available candidates close to that number for a few rounds and see how it goes?

Nailed the top 5! Brodeur and Sakic the same spot I had them.

Interesting to see 3 1st votes for Sawchuk, don't recall anyone really going to bat for him.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

The 5 I thought would make it did, though I wasn't totally sure about Taylor (Note this wasn't my exact top 5, just who I thought would make it based on discussion).

Did not expect Sakic and Trottier to flip from the centers project. I don't really agree with it, but I understand the argument there at least.

Bill Cook finishing under Cyclone Taylor due to 3 NRs is pretty lame though. "Star power" indeed.

I blame you for not putting Joe 1st on your ballot.

The reason we’re expanding to 13 for a round is that four players fall between 2094-2101 aggregate points. To maintain that number of candidates, we’d be including players separated by gaps of 100+ points.

Probably sticking with the 10 candidates + anyone within 99% of 10th until the final round.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

At least me agonizing over whether to have Brodeur or Cook 1st or 2nd didn't affect anything

 

[quoipourquoi]

I did, like, a month ago.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Holy crap I didn't even have time to send in my votes, was going to vote before 9 pm then just forgot about it.Honestly I thought sending him over the night owuld also be fine since usually they only go late on Monday.

My apologies

Still send it in to me, that way we have it for the individual voting thread.

 

[MXD]

Cook, Robinson and Bossy not making it, coupled with Dryden and Chelios' probable candidacy, might just make the next round the easiest as far as the identity of the first five players is concerned.

I'm surprised that Cook and Robinson didn't make it.

Bossy wasn't that big of a surprise though.

 

[quoipourquoi]

...didn’t Cook make it?

 

[MXD]

...didn’t Cook make it?

I'm illaturete.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Cook made it at #5 (35)
